The price you pay for inventory my friend Immortals Boots cost like 120,000 to make essence of Lab monkey cost what again? Hint Hint if your able to farm 100,000 straight and dont need the speed or spell resistance I would suggest going for it. Then again how many dont need the speed? How many cant use the items in the build up?
Think Boots are bad take a gander Immortals Rings stats. Compared to the items you use to make it, and again your paying for the inventory saved. LOL take a look at the swords your crit chances are much better then when the swords are combined. But again its the price you pay for inventory. Now are they not worth combining well that depends on the situation many say the sheilds not worth completing yet the same person gets raped by the Inventory of the sheild and 5 exceptional orbs.
